2 Days To Go!

We're in the home stretch now! Only 2 days to go until we welcome Connor Jackson into our family:) We are so excited to meet our new little guy and hold him and hug and kiss him all over!

We spent much of our last weekend as a family of 3 trying to keep up with Austin as he ran around chasing birds, making sand castles and splashing around in his whale pool. We did have a little scare with a HUGE lump on Austin's head this weekend. On Friday evening I started noticing a lump forming on the side of his head but I hadn't seen or heard him hit his head and he didn't cry and it did not look like a bug bite. By Saturday morning the lump was literally the size of a golf ball sticking out of his head and it was all red, not to mention he didn't want us to touch it. So I called the pediatrician who told us if it continues to grow (how much bigger could it get?) or he develops a fever he has to go to the ER, otherwise wait till Monday to bring him in. Well none of those things happened and by Sunday the swelling finally went down and by then you could faintly see a small pin point in the middle that did look like a bug bite. I still brought him in today to see the doctor and he agreed that it was most likely a bug bite and I also had him look at a swollen lymph node on his neck that he didn't like when I touched. And of course when Dr. Simmert touched the lymph node it didn't bother him at all:) Funny little man.

I had a doctor's appointment today too, my last OB visit before Connor's arrival. Everything is still looking good. I'm sure everyone will understand that you probably won't see another post from us for a while but I will try my hardest to post some pictures of our new little man within the next couple weeks.
